Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
2 cups tapioca pearls (1/4-inch wide)
1/2 cup chilled tapioca pearls
1 cup crushed ice
1 cup canned litchi nuts in syrup
3/4 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup milk
1 to 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice

Steps:

In a saucepan, combine the sugars with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil; then turn off the heat. In a pot, bring 4 quarts of water to a boil. Add the tapioca and cook until tender, about 8 minutes if parboiled. Drain. Mix the pearls with the sugar mixture and chill.
To make a drink, spoon the pearls into a large glass. In a blender, purée the ice, litchis, coconut milk, milk and lime juice. When smooth and frothy, pour over the pearls and stick in a straw.
